I'm wondering how long should i take off after wisdom teeth surgery?

Ask surgeon: It depends on how your body heals, if any bone needs to be removed, are they impacted?If they are impacted and bone needs to be removed to get the teeth out, then allow yourself more time to recover. Cutting/removing bone results in more post-operative pain and swelling. Talk to the dentist who's removing the tooth/teeth to get an idea how much recovery time you need.
